In hindsight, there was an inevitabilityTo the tragedy that unfolded that day,And no doubt that responsibility lay,With the magnate’s conceited pride,In proposing a match of such unsuitabilityJust to restore the company’s image,Regardless of the feelings of the bride.Despite his own family’s humble lineageAs a child, she had been strictly forbiddenTo associate with the grubby childrenOf the common people he so despised.Th...
Barely visible in the inky gloom,The cold bodies of the young lovers lay,Just a glimmer of pale flesh in the dark,The watery fastness their woeful tomb.Unmoved by the sun’s warming ray,Never again would they rise with the larkAnd in the meadows laugh and playLike innocent children out of school,Or lie on shady banks beside the brookOn hazy afternoons where the air was coolHappily lost in the pages of a book,Dreaming of da...
**Legend has it, the greatest thief of all time spent two minutes drinking a glass of wine with his shadow after he killed his victim**.Jack trembled as he placed the gun in his mouth. Taking one last breath, he closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.BANG!Jack opened his eyes in shock. His gun misfired. Nothing seemed to be going his way. He threw the gun down on the sofa and made his way to the table. He grabbed the bott...
In recent months I have been to four funerals,All of them close friends I have known for many years,People I respected, and in some cases loved;People who had all led rich and fulfilling lives,All loved by family, successful in business,And who had all served their local communities,Enriching others through voluntary service,Often going the extra mile for no rewardOther than the satisfaction of grateful smiles.Every day w...
Rest in peace, one of the only men who will ever live in my heart.From the first time I opened my eyes, you were there, with a grin so big nothing could erase it.When I turned 3 and mom walked away, you looked at me and said: "It's you and me against the world, baby girl."Every big event in my life, you were right there slightly behind me as if to catch me if I fell.The first time I had my heartbroken, I thought you would...
Fill me with your warmth on this bright and shinny day do you feel the touch of my hands lay gently on your face are you at peace,if so why this place just an empty vessel so dark and gray hallow and cold, so lonely to world isolated from reality, only friend is this tree i wish to meet you in the next world just to see who you would be i wrote you a name derived from the songs I sing i hope you love my humble hymns...
Everybody's gone out againEveryone has left me hereAlone am I to trudge on throughThoughts and lonely fearThey know not what they play withA composite soul of dreadIf only someone welcomed meAs if they were one of the deadOh, but what's this?Yet another being is hereCome closer, dear friendCome closer, have no fearWhy you appear to be fineWould you like a peek inside my mind?A long forgotten wastelandBarren and to malice ...
The time will come for me to draw my final breath,A day which yet my faint hearted soul would deny,The day when I will have to take my last goodbye,To face alone the dreaded moment of my death,But in the midst of doubt a flame of hope burns bright, That beyond the horizon of this mortal sphere,A better life awaits when we cross that frontier,And pass through death into a place of wondrous light.And so a sudden glimpse of...
I pray I never come to believe in reincarnation, because I'd slam the restart button. But if I go, then you will follow. And then who would weep for me and who would weep for you?
Kind and caring, sweet and fair;With gorgeous blue eyes and long flowing hair;A heart of gold, through and through;Loving to all, pure and true;My gift from God sent on angels' wings;Never questioned the unfairness of so many things;Always so hopeful, come what may;She held onto that hope 'til her dying day;Now she's in Heaven with God above;My daughter, My Angel Face,My heart's true love.

People have many different ways to find peaceWhen living is just becoming too hard to bear,For some it is in sleep, some have a special place,Others seek the company of lighthearted friends,Some settle down with a book, others meditate,And many spoil themselves with a favourite food.I have a special place where I like to escapeFor a few days whenever it is possible,Where there is such quietness and tranquilityThat my mind...
